Purica Red Reishi Micronized Mushrooms - 1kg powder

Since ancient times, Red Reishi was reserved for emperors and royalty and has long been used in Asia as an energy tonic to promote longevity and overall health. A much-revered mushroom, Red Reishi is now recognized as a powerful adaptogen and immunomodulator that can bring about enhanced balance and rejuvenation of the body. Red Reishi rejuvenates the body therefore bringing us to a better state of balance within.

Chinese and Japanese herbalists have traditionally recommended Reishi mushrooms for insomnia. Long-term use influences their “sleep-promoting factor”, as it increases slow-wave sleep. Other studies report that Red Reishi improves both neurological and psychiatric conditions including muscle tension, anorexia, and debility following lengthy illnesses.

FAQ

How should I store PURICA supplements?

Our products are shelf stable. Capsules can be stored at room temperature of 15-30 degrees in their bottle. They do not need to be refrigerated.

I am allergic to mold. Can I still take medicinal mushrooms?

None of our mushrooms are known to produce any mycotoxins. However, we always recommend consulting a health care practitioner if you have any specific condition or concerns.

Will taking medicinal mushrooms build yeast in my body?

This concern often arises around whether eating mushrooms can contribute to fungal overgrowth within the body, but this is not the case. Mushrooms can strengthen your immune response. It is also important to note that they are low in sugar. An over-abundance of sugar can promote yeast overgrowth.

As with all of our products we always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any specific condition.

When PURICA refers to full spectrum medicinal mushrooms, what does that mean?

Full spectrum medicinal mushrooms consist of the complete fungal material incorporating all of the biologically active components. These include the mycelium, fruitbodies, spores and the extra-cellular compounds that are excreted outside of the cell and into the surrounding environment. These compounds are produced throughout the entire life cycle of the organism and are accountable for the primary medicinal properties attributed to the fungal kingdom. They include compounds with antibiotic, antiviral, and antifungal qualities, along with other compounds that the fungus produces to protect itself from competing bacteria and microbes within its environment. All PURICA medicinal mushrooms are “full spectrum” and use elements from the entire life cycle of the mushroom.

What is micronization? And how are the active compounds of the mushroom drawn out without an extraction process?

Extraction methods include alcohol and water extraction that can draw out certain components at the expense of others. PURICA micronizes its mushrooms to unlock the active compounds from their indigestible fibrous matrix. Micronization is a newer technology that unlocks “all the ingredients” in the mushroom, converting them to tiny, highly absorbable particles. These active ingredients are then easily absorbed by the body to exert their potent health-promoting benefits.

I have heard that some medicinal mushrooms products can contain substantial quantities of inactive starches. Should this be of concern to me?

Beta-glucans are the primary compounds in medicinal mushrooms that are sought for strengthening the immune system.  But there are various other active compounds that exhibit positive effects on human health. Triterpenoids, sterols and nucleosides are examples of other beneficial compounds found in medicinal mushrooms. Alpha-glucans are a starch that is very similar to beta-glucans but they do not exhibit the same health promoting actions. In general, it is better to have a lower alpha-glucan content in the product, thus making more fungal tissue available for health promoting compounds. The alpha glucan content of PURICA mushrooms must be no greater than 5%, and our certificates of analysis typically show a 1-2% alpha glucan content.

What is the difference between wild versus lab grown medicinal mushrooms?

PURICA mushrooms are North American lab grown. Our controlled methods of mushroom cultivation involve natural hybridization strains to optimize naturally occurring constituents. We improve on nature to ensure each full-spectrum blend is of the utmost quality and potency. This results in mushrooms that do not require irradiation.

For example, PURICA Cordyceps is grown using a patented process that involves low temperature and low oxygen to mimic the growing conditions of cordyceps that are typically grown at high altitudes in the wild in the Himalayas. The result is that the cordyceps cultivated not only matches the chemical analysis of wild cordyceps, it exceeds the potency by a factor of five!

How does PURICA ensure that it grows the highest quality of mushrooms?

The multi-functional production process involves mycologists, microbiologists, biochemists and veterinary and human health care professionals from many fields. All of our mushrooms are grown on a certified organic plant base with trace minerals. All of our raw materials and dietary supplement ingredients are fully 100% Certified Organic, USDA and EU Certified Organic and Certified Kosher. They are third-party Certified Organic and non-GMO. We also use no fillers, preservatives or additives in our products.

Every lot of mushroom products that we sell is run through an extensive range of testing to ensure consistency, potency and standards of the highest quality.
